The Fox and the Grapes

The
fox is very hungry. He goes to look for food. The fox sees a rabbit. He runs
after the rabbit. The rabbit runs into a hole. The Fox cannot get into the
hole. He goes away. The Fox comes to a farm. He sees some chickens. Just then,
the farmer comes along. He chases the Fox away. The Fox then comes to a garden.
He sees a grapevine. The vine has many bunches of grapes. “What juicy grapes!”
says the Fox. The Fox cannot reach the grapes. They are too high. “If I jump, I
may get the grapes,” he says. So he jumps up. He still cannot reach the grapes.
The Fox jumps higher. He falls hard on the ground. The Fox jumps again and
again. Still he cannot reach the grapes. The Fox stops jumping. “The grapes
must be sour,” he says. And he goes away.
